Winter Emergency Parking Bans

Winter Parking Ban (December 1 – March 15)

The Town enforces a Winter Parking Ban each year from December 1st to March 15th. Parking is prohibited within Town rights-of-way and along streets between 12:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. Vehicles in violation may be ticketed or towed at the owner’s expense. This ban ensures safe and efficient winter snow and ice maintenance.

Snow Emergency Parking Bans

In the event of a predicted or ongoing severe snowstorm, the Public Works Director, with concurrence from the Chief of Police, may enact a Snow Emergency Parking Ban (Town Ordinance #102.6). These temporary bans allow crews to expedite snow removal, which often occurs overnight. Vehicles parked in Town rights-of-way during a Snow Emergency are subject to towing and/or ticketing.

Overnight Parking Options

Limited areas in Town allow for overnight parking and are clearly marked. These locations include:

• Municipal Parking Lot on Water Street
• Designated spaces in the Front Street Lot
• Train Station Lot
• Eight (8) permitted spaces on Pleasant Street
• Pleasant Street overnight permits are issued first-come, first-served through the Town Manager’s Office beginning November 1st.
